Preparing a Ham Paprika Panini using an oven
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
- 2 slices of panini bread
- Slices of ham
- Slices of cheese (your choice, but mozzarella or cheddar work well)
- Paprika to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
- Optional additions: sliced tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, mustard, or mayonnaise
Step 2: Prepare the panini Brush one side of each slice of panini bread with olive oil. On the other side of one slice, arrange the ham and cheese. Sprinkle paprika over the ham and cheese. If you’re using any optional additions, add them on top of the ham, cheese, and paprika. Top with the second slice of bread, oiled side out.
Step 3: Grill the panini Place the prepared panini on a baking sheet and put another baking sheet on top to press it down. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) for about 10-15 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Note: The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven.
Step 4: Serve This panini is best served hot. You can cut the panini in half and serve it as is, or with a side salad or soup.
About Ham Paprika Panini
